Download an item's files

You can download an item's model, drawings, documents, and translations individually as required. This is useful for non-CAD users.

Tip: If you want to download all files associated with an item, use Bulk export.

Download a model

  1. In the project's BOM (bm-upchain-web-mceclip0-02.png) section, select the item for which you want to download its model.

  2. Select more actions mceclip1.png > Export > Model.

    The Download Files window opens.

  3. Select the version of the parent CAD file you want to download. Select a filter to adjust the CAD file version of the child items. By default, Latest Working is selected.

  4. If the item has children, deselect any items you don't want to download.

  5. Select the box in the drawing column to include any drawings.

  6. Change the file name for the zip file, if desired.

  7. Click Download.

The selected model versions of your items are downloaded.

Note: When you download a model, you might receive a warning indicating that the file's custom properties are not up-to-date. This can happen if changes are made to the item attributes in Upchain. If you want to ensure the file properties are up-to-date, the files must be checked out and checked in using the CAD Plugin.
